Just afun teamI use every now and then on the ladder. Nobody really expects Terrakion and can often net some free wins with its ridiculous stab combination combined with high base damage moves. This team originally had Lele in it but that was when Kyurem was still scaring the **** out of rain teams. Now that its gone, I needed another mon to take Kyurem’s place and bulky Rillaboom is a perfect fit. AV Tornadus checks the ever irritating shadow ball spammers and helps against opposing Lele. Corviknight checks most physical attacks and even specs Lele. Heatran is the main check to opposing Heatrans and melts stuff with eruption. Garchomp was originally its scale shot set but Zapdos is running rampant in the tier and I need something to switch into it. I just had Garchomp and Heatran be rockers because I didn’t really know what to put in either of their last moveslot
Ghostsare broken this generation. Just spam one god damn move and you profit. Except for rare options like av Tornadus or Tyranitar, they beat pretty much of the tier and Dragapult can even wear down Tyranitar with you turn. Tornadus is a bit annoying but the twave ruins it for good. Buzzwall serves as the main physical check so Ferrothorn can focus on spdef for Lele. Zapdos serves as an offensive defogger and just a random pain in the ass. As this is a hazard stacking team, this puts pressure on stuff like Gastrodon who is a pain for the three offensive mons. Since the team gets utterly melted by Heatran, Garchomp was added to the team to deal with it
Probably myfavorite teamI built this generation. Surprisingly enough, when I was watching some replays from smogon champion league, someone had a similar team only it had Pex instead of Hydreigon so I guess my thoughts of this team structure works. This team was built around Hydreigon and it works by spamming dark pulse. If there’s a Clefable, click flash cannon then go back to spamming dark pulse. Draco meteor is to kill those annoying fighting bear. Melmetal is the main physical check and with Rillaboom’s terrain, can annoy even ground types. Rillaboom still does the same stuff of messing with rain and it beats the biggest pain to Hydreigon, Tapu Fini. Galarian Slowking serves as the main Lele check and with Melmetal, the team is almost impervious to the thing. Tornadus just does what it does best and beats sd Kartana, something that Melmetal can struggle against. Of course, the team still gets melted by Heatran so guess who’s back
At this point, I have no idea what type of team these are so I won’t bother to mention it. All I know is they they’re a mix of bulky and balance teams or something
